A dancing priest has brought parishioners flocking back to church in Campanilla, Spain.

Father Pepe delights the faithful by dancing the traditional sevillanas in the aisle of the church during Mass.

Female worshippers leap from their pews to take a turn dancing with Father Pepe as he hitches up his white cassock, raises his arms above his head and kicks his heels.

"I love it. It brings me closer to God," he told Diario Sur, the local newspaper.
